"nejOr" Burgess as Founder Of
Acndemies-fiis Last Venture.

A Washington special says: The
Maryland Military and Naval Academy
at Oxford, which has achieved such un-
onviable notoriety OF late, is no more,
and its ex-superintendent, major"
Burgess, is now in hiding. Major
George A. Armes, United Sta,es army
(retired), who short time ago pur-
chased the institution, arrived in this
city Yesterday after closing the school
and providing for the transfer of the
remaining pupils to other academies,
he has employed two detectives, who
are now securing the country in search
of the ex-superintendent, who is wanted
on dozen charges of swindling.
The career of Burgess, rs related by
Major Armes, is unique in its way.
Some wears ago he developed passion
for founding educational institutions,
with a strong partiality for military and
naval features. He organized a military
academy in q small town i'll Georgia,
hut after mourning liabilities amount
ing TO several thousand dollars quietly
disappeared. He next established the
school at Oxford, and after engaging .
corps OF assistants, embracing several
graduates from West Point and Annap-
Oils, lie secured az pupils the sons of Il
large number Of prominent people,
among them Congressman Wheeler,
Osborne, Anderson (of Ohio, Ballen
tine, Peters, and others. A dozen
boys from wealthy families in New
Yolk city we're among the cadets.
Tuition and board bills were uniform
" payable in advance. Burgess CHIN
ed that the academy was conducted I'M
DER the auspices of the State, and issued
a circular in which the congressman re-
ferrtd to and several senators appear as
n "Eoard of visitors" Major Armes
saws Burgess then made all extended
tour of small eastern cities, ordering
large quantities Of goods shipped 70 tde
academy. These he reshipped in tn
original packages, consigned to his
brother. who had rented storehousc
in neighhoring town, and managed t.
dispose Of them. The bills for the
goods we're all sent TO the aealeny aud
paid 10y check.
Armes was induced TO purchase the
institution in February last, aud ofter
making the transfer Burgess disap-
pcared. Within thirty days oyera hun
1lrcd OF the worthless drafts were pro
tested and returned to the acldon NJ.
Blmes says he has reason to believe the
returns are not all in vet, but thinks
Burgets's operations must have net.ed
him ut least $50, 900.
A number of judgments for irauls
committed in Georgia have been levied
on the Oxford property, and Armes has
surrendered everything and returned
to Washington. Re says that the com
Paints made by the teachers and pupils
as to the poor accommodations. &c.,
were caused by the stHitened circum-
stances in which he was placed By the
rGsoslity Of Burgess.

seatcd the Legislature Of Ohio passed
an act increasing the salaries OF
the judges of the First circuit from
$1,000 to $1,000. The Ldso Record
says: As the Common Pleas aud Su-
perior Court judges were already re-
ceiving $4,000 this is but an act OF
justice, and We are glad to see that the
Legislature has pursued no picayune
policy in this matter. The men who
are beat fitted for Judicial labors can
low 60 upon The bench in any OF our
courts without the feeling that
they ere making too great sacri-
nee Of their pecuniary interests" Cir
cult judges in Ohio receive $1,000,
while in Virginia they receive 81, 800.
And yet we hear constant regrets that
young men are leaving Virginia for the
progressive States of the West. This
is merely an Indications straw which
may show the current OF the wind

mortal hatred with his imperial master,
Autocrat No. l. This is the latest
news from Russia concerning the
powerful editor of the Moscow gazette.
The Moscow Gdzettc is the leading
newspaper of Russia. II has style OF
its own, and differs, in its antique ap-
peaIance, from any other newspaper in
that country. The uncompromising
supporter of unrelieved despotism, it as
the only prominent literary enterprise
in Russia favored with the imperial
smile. The Gar is its god and KatkoA
is its prophet.
At the present time Katkoff is the
object of intense hatred and abuse by
the German press. At the time when
The semblance of perfect cordially be-
tween Russia and Germany is main
tanned in every other respect, Kat
koff's paper is consistently emphatic
in its anti-German tone. The Off
cial North German gazette remarks
that the editor cannot be regarded
as such Ri unexampled fool as to
oppose the Gar. One Of the objects
OF Katkof's wrath is NJ. de Giers.
Foreign Minister in Russia, whom he
has not yet succeeded in displacing. as
he did NJ. Bunge, ex-Minister of FL
nance. The death of Alexander III.
by assassination might occur at any
time, when the Grand-Duke Nicholas,
born in 1863, would succeed to the
throne. Should a regency be necessary,
the influence Of vi. Kaikoff would be
given, with that of Ignatieff and
other anti-GermaD statesmen, against
NJ. de Giers. who would support
the Grand-Duke Vladimir, q pro-Ger-
man prince, for the regency. 1t is
stated that the meaning of the icontro-
versy between NJ. Katkoff and NJ. de
Giers is virtually struggle over the
body of the Gar Alexander Ill, whose
assassination at an carly date is counted
upon with certainty. In the light of
the latest news from Russia, it appears,
however, that Katkoff's schemes are
likely to be ended by his own death.
Meanwhile the history of Russia is
largely that OF the mouthpiece of Impe-
and Slavic exclusiveness.

On Saturday last fox-hunt was in
dulged in by Colonel Shiloh Gill and
a number of his neighbors near Camsr-
90, Ill. The hounds belonging to the
party gave chase to a red fox, and for
awhile lively time was enjoyed by oil
except Reynard. The hounds par
sued him SO close that he took refuge
in a hole in a haystack, but Colonel
Gill WAS equal to the emergency. Call
ing his plncky rat terrier Clip, the lat
ter was directed to follow the fox into
his hiding place, which he readily did.
Mr.. Gill then prostrated himself on the
ground and inserting his arm into the
hole he succeeded i'll grasping one of
Sips hind legs. Clip, like a sensible
log, had in turn laid hold OF the fox's
hind leg with a deathlike grip, and
when Clip was brought forth the fox
cane also, and in this manner was cap
tured. Colonel Gill is proud OF his
dog, and is fond Of telling his exploit
with the fox.

In the Porcelain Sammlung, or great
cabinet of china, in the Royal Palace
Of Dresden, collection consisting o!
no fewer than 1000 pieces of pottery,
there are three plain yellow plates, two
of them entire, the third broken.
These are considered TO be, as speci-
mems Of the ceramic art, even more
curious and more precious than any
other articles in the porcelain galleries,
not excluding even the two earthenware
life-size leopards, the colossal bust of
Augustus the King, the majolica ware
painted from the designs OF Rafaelle,
and the set Of porcelain given to the
Hector Augustus III. by Frederick L.
of Prussia in exchange for company
Of very tall grenadiers. The three yell
low plates are of direct Chinese manu-.
facture, and are esteemed the greatest
rarity in the collection, for the reason
that this class of ware is made for the
use Of the Emperor of China alone, and
its expectation is prohibited under pain
Of death. How these plates, fired with
the imperial color yellow found
their way to Dresden is uncertain, but
for considerably more than a century
they have served as models used at the
royal porcelain mandatory for the
production of a special species of por-
celain only made for presentation to
royal percentages. dresden yellow"
is thus as historical hue as "rose du
Barri " or "bleu du Roi." 1t has just
been announced that the venerable
Emperor William has ordered q service
of this famous yellow ware TO be made
as n congratulatory Offering to her
Majesty the Queen of England on the
occasion of the royal jubilee. The SER
vice, which is in active course OF com
pletion, consists Of 2S8 large and 100
small plates and 72 dishes of all sizes,
besides tureens, sauce-boats, and fruit
dishes.
